And many others became

Muslim, consequently the

messenger of Allah ) would
meet with them secretly at
the house of Al-Arqam ibn
Abi Al-Arqam and guide
them to what Allah guided
him to in Islam for a period
of 3 years until Allah sent
him His statement,
"Theref ore procl ai m
openly (Allh's Message
Islmic Monotheism) that
which you are com-
manded, and turn away
from polytheists, idolaters,
and disbelievers." (Al-Hijr
15:94)
Then he climbed on top of
Safa, at the time when the
statement of Allah,
"And warn your tribe (O
Muhammad ) of near
kindred." (Ash-Shu' ara
26:214)
was sent and began to call,
"O people of Fihar, O people
of Ady, O tribes of Quraish!"
so the people came to him
and those that could not
make it sent a messenger to
hear the news. When the
people came to the messen-
ger of Allah he said. "I am
the messenger of Allah for
you specifically and the rest
of mankind generally", so it
was said to him by his uncle
Abu Lahab, "Curse on you,
was revealed the prophet
became a prophet of Allah,
then the revelation stopped
for a period and later the
statement of Allah,
"O you (Muhammad )
enveloped (in garments)!
Arise and warn! And your
Lord (Allh) magnify!
And your garments pu-
rify! And keep away from
Ar-Rujz (the idols)!" (Al-
Muddaththir 74:5)
was revealed, so he
arose, complying with Al-
lah's order, relying upon
Him, and trusting in Him,
and warned the people and
called to the worship of
Allah. The beginning of the
call was done in secret as he
feared for himself. Some
men from the tribe of
Quraish believed in him,
the first of them being Abu
Bakr and five of those
who were given glad tidings
of paradise accepted Islam
by his hand; Uthman ibn
Affan, Abdur-Rahman ibn
Ouf, Az-Zubbair ibn Al-
Awwam, Sad i bn Abi
Waqqas, and Talha ibn
Ubaid Allah . Those five
along with Abu Bakr, Ali
ibn Abi Talid, and Zaid ibn
Harithah are the eight char-
acterized as having entered
into Islam at the beginning.

Indeed all Praises are for Allh alone. We praise Him, seek His assistance, and seek His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Him from
the evil of our own selves and the evil consequences of our actions. Whomever Allh guides, there is no one to lead him astray, and
whomever is lead astray, there is no guide for him. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allh, who is alone without
any partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and final messenger. To proceed:

Indeed all praise is for Allah,
we thank Him, seek His aid
and forgiveness, repent to
Him, and we seek refuge in
Allah from the evil of our
souls and our sinful actions.
Whomever Allah guides,
there is none to lead him
astray and whomever He
leaves astray there is none to
guide him. I bear witness
that there is no deity wor-
shipped in truth except Al-
lah, who is alone and with-
out partner and I bear wit-
ness that Muhammad is His
servant and messenger, may
Allah's peace be upon him,
his family, companions, and
followers in perfection. As to
what proceeds,
It has been established that
when the statement of The
Most High,
"Read! In the Name of
your Lord, Who has cre-
ated (all that exists), Has
created man from a clot.
Read! And your Lord is
the Most Generous, Who
has taught (the writing) by
the pen, Has taught man
that which he knew
not." (Al-'Alaq 96:1-5)

without it then he cried and left. His
uncle then called him to return and
said, "O nephew, say what you
choose, by Allah I will never turn you
over to them".
So the prophet of Allah continued
in the call and the harassment in-
creased in both speech and action.
Abu Jahal would prevent him from
praying if he saw him do so and speak
harshly to him and say, are you not
fatigued. One time when he was pray-
ing in a gathering of the people of
Quraish some said to the others, "who
will go to the camel of so and so and
get its blood and innards and then put
in on the back of Muhammad when
he prostrates?", so the most wretched
of those people went and brought it
and when the messenger of Allah
prostrated he put it on his back. The
messenger of Allah remained firm in
prostration while they laughed and
made of fun of him until his daughter
Fatimah, who was very young, came
and removed the innards and blood.
The prophet made dua to Allah
against them until they were killed in
the battle of Badr, drug and thrown
into its well, and all praise if for Allah.
Likewise they would throw rubbish at
the prophet's door and he would
come out and throw it away and say,
"what kind of neighbour?! What kind
of neighbour is this?!" The harm of
the Quraish worsened for those that
believed in the messenger of Allah,
they would torture his companions
with slander, beating, and fire. The
prophet would strengthen his com-
panions and encourage them with pa-
tience. He said to `Ammaar ibn Yasir
and his family who were being tor-
tured, be patient O family of Yasir
for your time is the paradise. And
when he saw that the situation became
too extreme for his companions he
allowed them to migrate and said to
them disperse and spread out in the
earth for Allah will join you, and he
pointed to Ethiopia, so 10 men and 5
women migrated there in the fifth year
of the prophets mission and returned
after three months but the idolaters
were still harming them and their evil
became grave. The prophet al-
lowed for a migration a second time
to Ethiopia in the seventh year of his
mission, more than 80 men and
around 20 women went. The leader
Najashi welcomed them and gave
them religious freedom. As for the
messenger of Allah , he stayed in
Makkah undergoing hardship and
difficulty from the punishment of the
disbelievers of Quraish and he was
patient seeking a reward from Allah
and performing His commands. His
Uncle Abu Talib and wife Khadijah
both passed away in the tenth year of
his mission and the situation became
worse on him when he lost his wife
who was devoted to him and his un-
cle who defended him. He left to Taif
calling the tribes of Thaqeef to Islam
and did not find from them except
ridicule and harm and they stoned
him until they drew his blood, so he
returned to Makkah. Regarding this
the prophet said, I left Taif and
anxiety and worry were clear on my
face and I didnt stop until I was at
Qarn Ath-Tha`aalib, I raised my head
and there was a cloud shading me so I
looked and saw in it Jibreel, he called
me and said, Allah has heard what
your people have said to you and they
did not respond to you, and he sent
to you the angel of the mountains for
you to order him with what you will
regarding them, then the angel of the
mountains called me and greeted me
with salaam and said, O Muhammad,
verily Allah has heard what your peo-
ple have said to you, I am the angel of
the mountains and you Lord has sent
me to you so that you may order me
with whatever you will, I will close the
two mountains upon them. So the
messenger of Allah said, rather I
hope that Allah will bring forth from
their offspring who will worship Allah
alone with no partner.

did you gather us for this?" and
mocked him and what he said. Con-
sequently, Allah sent down surah Al-
Masad which is read in the Book of
Allah until the day of resurrection and
what Allah has for him of disgrace
and shame is greater and more severe.
Then Allah sent to His messenger,
"And warn your tribe (O Muham-
mad ) of near kindred." (Ash-
Shu'ara 26:214)
Then he gathered them all and said to
them, "even if all the people lied I will
not lie to you, I am the messenger of
Allah for you specifically and the rest
of mankind generally, by Allah you
are certainly going to die, then resur-
rected, taken to account for your
deeds, and rewarded for your actions
which is either paradise forever or
hell fire forever". The people spoke
tenderly and softly except Abu Lahab
and said you must stop him now be-
fore all of the Arabs join him and if
you leave him you will be shamed and
if you try to stop him you will be
killed. So Abu Talib, Abu Lahab's
brother, both uncles of the prophet
, stopped him and said, "By Allah I
will prevent him so long as I am
alive", then the group left without
benefit but the prophet continued to
call to Allah the Most High openly
and in secret and the people would
make fun of him and say, "this is the
son of Abdul-Mutalib who is spoken
to from the sky this is Ibn Abi Kab-
shah". Then he began to discredit
the reasoning of the polytheists and
convey the falsehood of their idol
worship, so Quraish gathered with
Abu Talib more than once to prevent
the messenger of Allah from that
and threatened him, consequently
Abu Talid advised the messenger of
Allah to spare him and his own
self, so the messenger of Allah
thought that his uncle was going to
desert him which was hard for him to
bear and he said, "O Uncle, by Allah,
if they were to put the Sun in my
right hand and the moon in my left I
would not leave this affair until Allah
makes it clear or I am destroyed
